Vietnamese track-and-field athletes will compete in two international competitions this week, according to the Sports Authority of Vietnam under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Vietnamese runner Nguyen Thi Oanh pocketed two gold medals in just 20 minutes at the ongoing 32nd Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games 32) in Cambodia on May 9.

The Philippines will not hold several key track-and-field events at the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in 2019, a decision that will likely affect Vietnam’s achievement level in the games as one of the leading athletics teams in the region.

Vietnam finished in fourth position at the ASEAN University Games, following the final day of competition, on July 17 in Singapore.

Ly Thi Hai Sai won a bronze medal for Vietnam in the girls’ high jump event at the ongoing Children of Asia International Sports Games in Sakha Republic (Yakutia).
